    The 21st Century has been a fruitful period for the heralded pianist-composer Andrew Hill. Dusk, his first album in ten years, was released in 2000, and 2005’s critically adored album Time Lines marked both his return to the Blue Note label and a reunion with trumpeter Charles Tolliver. This double bill also features guitarist and current Wilco member Nels Cline, whom Guitar Player proclaimed as “one of the few players brave enough and phenomenally talented enough to shatter the assumption that everything has been done before.” Cline and his cohorts will draw from Hill's entire songbook for their adventurous set.
